Title: High transaction fees: Ethereum's fatal weakness
Post by: MrSpasybo on February 22, 2021, 08:50:37 PM
I've never seen such a high transaction fee!

The minimum gas per transaction is 222 gwei, many community members are complaining that they don't have enough ETH to pay for the transfer of tokens from the wallet to the exchange. At the same time, there are many people responding that their transaction has failed after hours of waiting.

I was also quite disappointed about this as the more I waited for the fees to go low, the higher it went, the consequence was that I didn't send any ERC-20 tokens to Binance for trading, I lost several thousand USD in this market correction.

I am a loyal fan of Ethereum, but right now I'm thinking of Cardano, BSC, TRON or Tomochain. I understand the BNB price increase is perfectly reasonable. We are no longer patient enough to wait for the development of ETH2.0.

Do you think Ethereum will lose a lot of users during this period? Will this make Ethereum lose its top altcoin position? Will Ethereum fall before the massive rise of new blockchains? And have you regretted focusing only on ERC-20 tokens?

I think that this is not only a fatal weakness of Ethereum platform but this is a failure. We know that Ethereum is actually created and chosen because of the low f=gas fee compared to BTC. However, right now, the fee of gas eth is so crazy and we cannot really afford from it

I think the market just needs to stop a little and take a breath, adjust, and then launch the rocket again with the ETH 2.0 update! Lately, I also use BSC!

This is really very disappointing, isn't this Cryptocurrency actually providing an easy solution from ordinary money payments because of its cheap costs? But looking at these transaction fees that Ethereum has, it is far from that.  In fact, this is very burdensome, If this problem is not resolved, more and more will leave Ethereum.

There are a lot of problems with selling coins that are currently on the Ethereum platform because of the gas fees.  No tokens are currently being sold through the Ethereum platform because I can't sell any of them due to the extra gas fees.
 Senior brothers who are there do you think gas will be reduced in the coming days ??

I am a loyal fan of Ethereum, but right now I'm thinking of Cardano, BSC, TRON or Tomochain. I understand the BNB price increase is perfectly reasonable. We are no longer patient enough to wait for the development of ETH2.0.
I'm just glad I moved some of my ETH earlier when fees was just around $5 and transitioned to BSC dex and dapps. I'm currently happy using Pancakeswap and Bakery. I'll probably just wait after the planned ethereum hardfork is done before moving erc-20 tokens.

Do you think Ethereum will lose a lot of users during this period? Will this make Ethereum lose its top altcoin position? Will Ethereum fall before the massive rise of new blockchains?
I don't know if it will ever lose its no. 2 position per market cap again. There are still user base who prefer the more decentralized ethereum chain with its more nodes compared to BSC. Cardano smart contracts will be launched soon though.

It's liquidity is fine for most high cap tokens. I've been swapping LRC, ETH, DAI, WBTC, and DPI with minimal slippage. You're right though it has low liquidity and token choices relative to the big dexs like uniswap. But demand drives supply, so we can complain about layer 2's lackings or we can drive demand by utilitizing it. I've chosen the latter.

Yes Yes Yes. I also faced this problem that there is no Ethereum on the wallet to send tokens and because of this I did not have time to sell the coin at its peak. From this moment I pass to the Tron.

Ethereum's price can be high, it has huge popularity but after DeFi emerged specially Uniswap has pulled the transaction fees from mud to the sky. It has huge negative impact on the ERC20 tokens holders, transaction makers. Uniswap is the killer of Ethereum network i think. I avoid uniswap for its high fees, i try to buy from centralized exchanges which is easier, lost fees.

We need to wait about four more months. In July, they promise to solve this problem for the ethereum network with the introduction of the next stage of Ethereum 2.0 improvements and the gas price should be reduced. What can you do, the update is large-scale, everything needs to be done in turn and in stages.
I am not going to switch to other platforms yet, especially since the cryptocurrency market is still being corrected.

Yesterday, as soon as the correction of the entire cryptocurrency market began, I saw that GWEI reached 1000 and this is simply shocking, but unfortunately the Ethereum developers do not care about this and they are in no rush to release the next phase of Ethereum 2.0, which should solve all the problems with expensive transactions on the Ethereum blockchain.

With such a high commission on the network, I’m better off observing the market. Now I will not twitch, I do not sell anything and I do not buy anything.

Post by: CriptoLH on February 23, 2021, 06:51:26 PM
Due to the high gas, I can't use the ethereum network and its wallet to withdraw altcoins to exchanges. If the gas price continues to rise, then it makes no sense to participate in projects with erc-20 tokens. I hope that Ethereum-2 will solve this problem.

Etherum in my own opinion is suffering for having too much success; after being the hybrid home for several projects via its smart contract; the token has bedded so many platforms and  has gotten congested as a result; Will etherum 2.0 be a very good solution to this ? Can binance smart chain as hyped fulfil such roles ? time will tell.
Title: Re: High transaction fees: Ethereum's fatal weakness
Post by: comer on February 23, 2021, 10:51:28 PM
absolutely! ETH loyalist will gradually shift into another blockchain platform because of the huge fees of ethereum network. I also didn't send another token to exchange because  of these crazy fees. ethereum developer should do something about these to prevent some user and project to move to another platform.

Post by: Quart on February 23, 2021, 11:38:23 PM
You are right, this is a fatal weakness of the coin that really requires a very very high fee. The gas fee of ethereum is considered the most expensive fee transaction among the other coins. This is crazy as we think that this coin may be left behind by BNB

I'm sure this problem will be resolved soon, many have complained about the problem of this high Ethereum transaction fee.  Ethereum certainly doesn't want to lose the trust of its community.
Title: Re: High transaction fees: Ethereum's fatal weakness
Post by: MrSpasybo on February 24, 2021, 12:11:30 AM
There are probably only 3 reasons why we continue to love Ethereum:
+ Experienced #DevelopmentTeam ;
+ Large community: many users, many projects, the popularity of ERC-20 tokens;
+ The best decentralization in blockchains, about 9000 nodes instead of 21 nodes like other blockchains.

I regularly check Ethereum's website for updates on the status of ETH2.0: https://ethereum.org/en/eth2/

"The vision: More scalable = Ethereum needs to support 1000s of transactions per second, to make applications faster and cheaper to use."

I really hope that the Ethereum team is trying to speed things up before they miss the bull-run.

I thought the same, but this has been going on for a long time. And now it seems to me they will never solve this problem. But I really want them to solve this problem.

Even a few days ago, Ethereum's extra transaction fee was the cause of all our headaches. Their popularity has lost a lot due to the extra transaction fee.As the popularity of Etherium has declined, so has the popularity of the Binance platform But hopefully it will also regain its popularity and the additional transaction fee will come down again.

The only exchange I have seen a gas fee as high as Ethereum's gas fee is on yobit exchange, those crooks charge 120k Sat's per bitcoin withdrawal, that's absolutely insane, I totally agree with this topic Ethereum's high gas fees is a real mess coupled with the scalability issues, if they would just release the ETH 2.0 we will see Ethereum pumping crazily again, for now BSC has taken it ms place as one of the most popular blockchain.
Title: Re: High transaction fees: Ethereum's fatal weakness

@nelson4lov most of the tokens that Yobit has had throughout its history were created by themselves. I have never understood their way of acting with their users or their internal policies regarding rates, for those reasons and some more I stopped using Yobit many years ago. I think people should look for alternatives to that exchange, there are many.

I hope Ethereum team will solve this problem.mate.. The high gas fee  is the big problem now. I can't do transaction because It is s high.Just wait and hope the gas fee will go down. I have use other smart contract coin, BSC is my favourite now

for this problem it seems that ethereum owners are already thinking about going even faster.
but all of this maybe ethereum owners also need support from all of us, not just verbal support but some donations

I think the team project should have good solution for this problem. I see several projects already migrated  to other smart contract platform. Binance smart chain is the best alternate platform now..

Indeed, the competition for Ethereum is so intense that it creates very high transactions and this is more than anything else that happens in any market.
I also can't see anything we want to do with Ethereum so Ethereum has a problem with transactions and it hurts a lot. But now I see this Ethereum transaction GAS around 22 gwei.

in fact, there are no problems with transactions. it all comes down to the fact that there are high fees available, but for most users this is a real trifle, given the cost of Ethereum and its growing rate, as well as the huge cost of many DeFi and other fairly demanded projects. If Ethereum had a problem, then its price would fall at a rapid pace.

Transactions through digital transactions or eth are constantly increasing all over the world. So I think ethereum has become more and more popular worldwide, because ethereum or cryptocurrency is the most popular for transactions and business. That's why bitcoin transactions around the world are moving from the digital ecosystem.

Keep calm mate, Ethereum team already reduce the has fee. I think It is good thing for Ethereum market. Because I see after ERC20 network fee is going down, Ethereum price is increasing . I hope It will continue until the end of this year.

In fact the biggest problem was the high etherium transaction fees. The biggest problem for Bounty Hunters was that they could get $50 to $60 in tokens from any spelling campaign. It turned out to be offered on the Etherium platform but would have cost a transaction fee of  $40 to $50 to sell, so Etherium's popularity has plummeted and prices have not risen. But the current situation is that with Ethereum's transaction fees falling, Ethereum's price is only rising.

Yes I think high transaction fee is the biggest problem now, not only for bounty Hunters but for all investors too. I see many investors complaint about it. But I also believe ethereum team will have good solution that will solve this problem.

Ethereum High Transaction Fees Of course Ethereum's fatal weakness. If we look at 1 month ago, we will see that the Ethereum price has not increased in such a way due to the high level of Ethereum transaction free despite its popularity. We consider the next few bitcoins that Etherium did not increase in price in such a way just because of the extra transaction fee. Now the Etherium price has come down but the Etherium price has gone up. That’s why I think Ethereum High Transaction fees brings the bad side of Etherium to the book.

Indeed, this Ethereum transaction fee is very crazy and all investors are also afraid to trade on the Ethereum blockchain or are also afraid to buy tokens from ERC20.
I am also sure that Ethereum does have a lot of stories to reduce transaction costs but seeing the current situation that has not been realized, it is also very afraid to invest in ERC20 tokens.

in vain many did not trust good information about reducing the cost of transactions. today we see exactly what the Ethereum developers previously stated. commissions are lowered, and Ethereum is steadily climbing up to the moon.

Now the ETH gas fee is low becasue so many new projects now move to the TRX wallet and also to the BNB wallet becasue of low fee and that is the reason that the ETH gas fee is low at this time and in future the ETH gas fee is going to low more.

It is true that since yesterday, when Ethereum reached a new ATH (and today it reaches new ones), transaction fees have gone up a lot again. The Ethereum "authorities" are unable or unwilling to do anything, I think we have no choice but to wait for the hard fork in July, with the problems that this is going to give us all...

The cost of gas fees may not be the same as it was in the past.  Transaction fees are much lower than in the past.  So now everyone can transfer tokens. No problem. Before, gas fee was the biggest problem.  But now the problem has been solved due to the low amount of gas fee.

Post by: Tamsialu$$ on May 22, 2021, 12:40:28 AM
Of course the extra transaction fees has an effect on the Etherium Price. Ethereum transaction fees increased so much that none of its tokens were invested in the Ethereum platform. And what Bounty Hunters had a problem with was that even if they got some tokens, selling them on the Etherium platform would have seen a higher transaction fee than the amount of dollars that could be sold. But the current situation is that Ethereum transaction fees have come down.

Yes I think so. All of Ethereum's are far ahead of other platforms. But the thing that has disappointed people the most about the Ethereum platform is that its additional transactions are fee. People are leaving the Ethereum platform only because of the additional transaction fee of their platform.

Disappointment must be there but in fact it is like that and the cost of sending Ethereum is very difficult to control and the price is getting more expensive and difficult to break down.
But as I write this thread Ethereum transaction fees are starting to drop and everyone is getting excited to keep going back to using Ethereum and erc20 tokens. Good to see.
I find this kind of manipulation, whoever it is giving the game a drop and a price hike and it gives me a headache when Ethereum's transaction fees get expensive.

You are right, currently Ethereum Gas costs are getting cheaper. So we can trade happily. But remember every time we want to make a transaction, make sure you check it first, because the cost of Gas Eth can go up quickly.  Ethereum realizes that there is now a competitor who could take its place if it didn't lower these transaction fees.

Well, we should check at gas track on Etherscan.io
If you want do transaction.
We know, gas fee is cheaper now, but market is still struggling.
As trader, I still wait to do transaction.
Because I see market doesn't settle yet.
Maybe at the next week, I will do trading again.

Several weeks or months ago, the fee gas of Etheruem tokens was damn so high.
But now, the gas is likely normal again. The fee has dropped so significantly during this crashed market.
Let's see the picture below that shows that Eth is very friendly right now and hopefully many more chances to be normal gas fee again

If you have transacted Ethereum dependent coins today or tomorrow, you will easily understand that Ethereum Gas Fee is much less than before.  I believe this is one of the most important issues for Etherium.  In this way, all the lost investors and traders are liking again Ethereum based network.
